Obsession
By J Newton

Version 4

You give me love;
you take it back.
You carry me
then let me fall.
You promise truth
but lie instead
and I adore you through it all.
 
You touch with heat
then turn so cold.
You pledge your all
but state your price.
You kiss the tears
that you create.
I am your willing sacrifice.
 
You drink my soul
then spit it back.
You call me Queen
but burn my throne.
Still, in this pool
of black desire
we drown together, not alone.

Version 3

You give me love;
you take it back.
You carry me
then let me fall.
You promise truth
but lie instead
and I adore you through it all.
 
You touch with heat
then turn so cold.
You watch me melt
while you are ice.
You kiss the tears
that you create.
I am your willing sacrifice
 
You drink my soul
then spit it back.
You call me Queen
and burn my throne.
Still, in this pool
of black desire
we drown together, not alone.

Version 2

You gave me love;
you took it back.
You carried me
then let me fall.
You promised truth
but lied instead
and I adored you through it all.
 
You taught me heat
then turned so cold.
You watched me melt
while you were ice.
You kissed the tears
you helped create.
I was your willing sacrifice
 
You drank my soul
then spat it back.
You called me Queen
then burned my throne.
Still, in this pool
Of black desire
We drown together, not alone

You gave me love.
You took it back.
You carried me,
Then let me fall.
You promised truth
But lied instead.
And I adored you through it all.
 
You taught me heat
Then turned so cold.
You watched me melt
While you were ice.
You kissed the tears
You helped create.
I was your willing sacrifice
 
You drank my soul
Then spat it back.
You called me Queen
Then burned my throne.
Still, in this pool
Of black desire
We drowned together, not alone
